The pioneering Swedish sex ed film that shocked the world, was shot in English back to back with the Swedish scenes, with all four educators speaking English, and the illustrating segments dubbed into English.
Notorious mondo movie which turned away from strange African tribes to the strange tribes of Sweden. The film purports to display typically Swedish issues like drugs, alcohol, suicides, biker gangs, lesbian clubs, women's lib and nude blondes in saunas, but it's all fake. The song Mah-na-Mah-na was composed for this movie!
A group of attractive women and some men arrive to a house party for some nude frolicking, rockabilly music and a psychedelic orgy in the dark. 28 minutes short film.
All good sex-ed films in the 1960s had sequels, so too this anti-porn and anti-gay propaganda by the Citizens for Decent Literature. Founder and producer Charles Keating was on Nixon's Presidential Commission on Obscenity and Pornography in 1969 and convicted for wire fraud and racketeering in the late 1980s.
Mondo movie Italian style, with added New York scenes! Queers! Drag queens! Spanking! Hookers! Strippers! Addicts! Strange habits! “It’s a sick, sick, sick world!” the narrator keeps repeating. With Sammy Petrillo from Bela Lugosi Meets a Brooklyn Gorilla and The Brain That Wouldn’t Die!
Hilariously bogus “documentary on the film capital of the world” inspired by the Italian mondo movie genre. A look at adult book stores, grindhouses, strip joints, “Figure Model Photography Studios” and midnight pool parties. This is more cynical sexploitation from director Lee Frost and producer Bob Cresse, the loveable hucksters who gave the world Mondo Freudo and Mondo Bizarro.
Sequel to the ground-breaking Mondo Cane. Beautifully shot but equally disturbing crackpot travelogue of global gross-outs and international insanity: human pincushions parade, tortillas with live insects, strippers wrapped in toilet paper, possessed women, a mid-East slave auction and more…

An in-depth analysis of the "Video Nasty" scandal of the early 1980s in Britain.
Yes, Ingmar Bergman sold out to capitalism! He made nine charming commercials for the soap brand Bris, “that kills bacteriae”. In 1951, the Swedish film industry was boycotting a new “entertainment tax” by not making movies, so Ingmar had to find a way of financially supporting his three families.
